Garmt,

I've added lines at 1868 and 1875, changed 1876 and 1880, and replied below.
Nobody realised before that Verne visited Britain about 10 or 11 times!

Then here is the complete (?) list:

1859: Bordeaux, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Scotland, London, etc
1861: Norway and Denmark
1867: Liverpool, N America, Liverpool (via where?)
1868: June: Dover (AdF 124)
1868: Gravesend, London (letter of [19 Aug])
1872: London, Woolwich (letter of 8 June)
1871/2/3: Jersey (Marx's introduction)
1873: maybe Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark (invitation by Hetzel, 28
July)
1875: Monaco (letter of 20 February)
1876: coastal England (letter of [27 June]), probably including
Cowes (AdF 161)
1878: Portugal, Gibraltar and Algeria
1879: coastal Britain, including Yarmouth (letter of 9 [July]),
                Edinburgh (about 13/14 July), Edinburgh again (27 July),
                and Dover (28 July); the Hebrides, etc., presumably
                between 14 and 27 July?
1880: Ireland (Marx's introduction); "Norway, Ireland and
Scotland"
                (at least according to AdFuye 162)
1881: Deal and Yarmouth (at least according to J Jules-Verne),
                the Low Countries, etc.
1884: North Africa and the Mediterranean
1887: Belgium + the Netherlands

For which of these do we have the itineraries?

1859: Work in progress, Ian and Bill have already found more detail than
will be visible in a map.

1867: I think we can safely take the data from Une ville flottante.

1868: Was this a simple return trip to Gravesend? No: he went to London as
well.
1872: idem for London
1871-3: idem for Jersey

I've tried to put all available information above; in sum, we really don't
know what routes JV took...

1881: The trip from Rotterdam to Vlissingen has been studied by one of my
friends, the trip to Kobnhavn is described in detail by Paul Verne

1887: Almost done. There are some uncertainties about the way back from
Groningen to Amiens.

If you can add more, please do.

Best,
Garmt.
